The 3D effect really becomes noticeable when looking at Employment density plots. Skyscrapers appear in Central London and Canary Wharf: http://luminocity3d.org/Economy.html#employment_density_2011...

Yes, but doesn't this distort the visualization?

Not only does the darkness of the hexagon increase with the density, but the area of the screen that is covered.

Moreover, the hexagon immediately to the north is obscured, so the data there is lost.
